Anyone else remember using Facebook to find out if your new crush was available?
I mean besides rating women, that was the initial purpose of FB.

Can you date on Lemmy?
Only if you are looking meet crazy people
I prefer the term "people with an interesting personality".

I'd date on Lemmy, since it seems many folks here align more closely with my political views than anywhere else I've been.
Problem is, many folks are so privacy-focused (some to the point of paranoia) they won't give you much info about themselves or their personal lives.
Kind of funny, tbh.
I think Lemmy dating would work much better for people living in North America. Americans seem to be the biggest demographic by far.
I live in Northern Ireland, the chances of finding other people from here on Lemmy are already slim, let alone a girl from here who is a similar age to me and up for a date!
Dating apps are bit like voting in Northern Ireland in the UK general election. Technically you're taking part in choosing the next PM but in reality you're just squinting hard at a small list of munters that'll do nothing for you.
There's a lot of European users! In fact, I recall an entire community of folks centered in.. maybe Scotland?– sharing local news and going-ons with each other. So it can definitely be so with other areas!
Though, yeah, I think it may be less efficient if you're looking for folks who are local. May be more for folks just casting a net for someone, anywhere.
If a cute girl could manage to dox and kidnap me, then it could work out as long as she has good internet in the basement.
I'm sure if the plan is to kidnap you, the end goal will result in
Tap for spoiler
torture and/or deathTorture just means she wasn't the right one.
Imo it's also sort of hard because of the size. You'd have to find really small communities so you're running into the same people and have the opportunity to foster relationships. easier on smaller instances or communities, but if you're just browsing /all it'll be harder to notice the same people.
unless, like, a dating specific instance or community popped up. tho I can see all kinds of issues in that
A dating community sounds like fun!
No idea how it would be modded, though. But I don't plan to communicate on an 18+ level without at least meeting in-person first. I'm aware that many people do not take the same approach, though.
Idk. Still kind of interested in a dating instance!
I put on my robe and wizard hat...
haaaarrrrrrrr
If you must, use DD/MM/YY
What if you're a YYYYMMDD person

Has no community yet on lemmy
Why not both?
I use DDMMYYYY for everyday use but when naming backups (mainly on an external SSD) I use YYYYMMDD so sorting by name works correctly
As long as we agree that months go in the middle, idgaf
But YY/MM/DD works better for sorting files since then sorting by name will give you chronological order.
What kind of monster are you.
Honestly a lot of us on here talk about being lonely so...
If there's a hole...
Time to make a Lemmy Dating App 🤣
Fedate~
Was thinking about making a board for dating, but then I realized how much chaos certain people would cause there.
